One more C/R question

The following proposal to amend the bylaws of an organization was circulated to its members for comment.
When more than one nominee is to be named for an office, prospective nominees must consent to nomination and before giving such consent must be told who the other nominees will be.

Which of the following comments concerning the logic of the proposal is accurate if it cannot be known who the actual nominees are until prospective nominees have given their consent to be nomineed?
A)The proposal would make it possible for each of several nominees for an office to be aware of who all of the other nominees are.
B) The proposal would widen the choice available to those choosing among the nominees.
C) If there are several prospective nominees, the proposal would deny the last nominee equal treatment with the first.
D) The proposal would enable a prospective nominee to withdraw from competition with a specific person without making that withdrawal known.
E) If there is more than one prospective nominee, the proposal would make it impossble for anyone to become a nominee.

Anybody can give an explanation why one E is the best answer? Thank you very much.

prospective nominee is not nominee. Before a prospective nominee becomes a nominee, he must consent to nomination and know who are the other nominees. Every prospective nominee will not know who are the other nominees and he will not consent to the nomination.

Thanks, tianwan.

However, I am still not yet that clear about how the ETS logic works here. Let's say  a prospective nominee has given the consent to nomination and then has been infomred who the actual nominees are. I really donot see in this case how the conclusion that "the proposal would make it impossble for anyone to become a nominee" can be drwan from the context.

I am wondering how come A is not the best key here. "A)The proposal would make it possible for each of several nominees for an office to be aware of who all of the other nominees are." My understanding is that if you were a prospective nominee, you of course would be known the other nominees after you have given the consent.

Is there any further input? Thanks.

本题确实很绕

1。首先要分清PROSPECTIVR NOMINEE（未来被提名人）和NOMINEE（被提名人，相当原文的ACTUAL NOMINEE）

2。原文的建议的核心：未来被提名人同意被提名前，必须知其他被提名人是谁

3。提干的假设：           知被提名人是谁之前，必须未来被提名人同意被提名

4。第2点和第3点循环，使之产生不了被提名人。即E选项

律师说的很专业，我来试着用俗话说说：当准被提名人多于一个时，准被提名人X他在同意被提名（而成为正式的被提名人）前，必须被告知其他被提名人（Y、Z.....）是谁。这样X就要等着Y、Z等成为正式的被提名人（也就是说X现在成不了正式的被提名人）。同理，Y、Z等也成不了正式的被提名人。这个条件根本就不可能具备。好象还是很罗嗦。

好象上课时老师提问，大家举手的条件是举手前要知道别人都谁会举手，得，除非知道就自己举手，不然都只能干瞪眼不能举手。因为谁都没有举手的这个条件。
